Solution
The correct option is D Succulent plants
Plant specimens are collected and preserved for their study and research in a herbarium. For this, the specimens are dried and then mounted on the white sheet with proper details. There are some specimens which can not be dried and mounted as they are soft or bulky like succulent plants. Conifer cones and palms are stored in labelled boxes. Mosses and lichens are packed and preserved in small envelops. Representative fruits and flowers are stored in the formaldehyde to preserve their three dimensional structure. So, the correct option is D.
